Nigeria: N500Emmanuella Nduonofit, through The Liquid Jewel and other stories, explores themes of infidelity by some married men; incest, prostitution and cultism in some families; and the frustration caused by joblessness being faced by many Nigerian graduates who now do anything to make ends meet, no matter how degrading or life threatening it is.
The stories are provocatively engaging with diverse descriptive erotic scenes that remind the reader about other similar narrations by some American feminine authors such as, Sussan Good's Burning Secrets and Vivi Anna's Blood Secrets. Although, some readers may find it too explicit on sexual matters, the collection is a down-to-earth satire which shows how some men and women's minds work in their relationship and desperation for money, love and fame, with regrettable consequences.
